Plague Wars

Technically speaking, Clan Pestilens and Nurgle are "friends." But I've always interpreted their relationship as tense at best. Where Nurgle seeks to spread a loving, sickly embrace, Pestilens want to kill as many as they can, friend and foe alike.

Inspired by Alberic & Yuan Bo Are Not Welcome, his mod aims to cement this fundamental ideological difference between the two.

• Clan Pestilens and Nurgle factions now have -100 relations with each other
  
• Diplomacy malus will be shown on Skrolk's selection page
  
• Diplomacy malus will NOT be shown on Nurgle faction selection pages, because it feels kinda cluttered (maybe I'll change my mind and add it someday, meh)

• Compatible with everything
  
• Yes, that includes SFO (my -100 will overwrite the +25 SFO gives them)
  
• Best used alongside Porkenstein's excellent Epidemius in Lustria

• Guvenoren for Alberic & Yuan Bo Are Not Welcome and Mixu for Mixu's Legendary Lords, I used their mods to learn how to make this
  
• Porkenstein for Epidemius in Lustria, which sparked this idea to begin with

_____________________________


In the lore, Clan Pestilens stole the Liber Bubonicus and the Cauldron of a Thousand Poxes from Nurgle's temples, and proceeded to desecrate them in the Great Horned Rat's name. Sure, Nurgle probably doesn't care who spreads disease, just like Khorne doesn't care who's bleeding. But what about his acolytes? I think they'd be pretty pissed.

But Ratboy, there are whispers that Clan Pestilens blaspheme, they secretly worship Nurgle instead of the Rat God! Yeah, that's exactly what I'd expect other clans to use as easy ammo to undermine Pestilens in their great game. But Ratboy, their leader is literally named Nurglitch! Hey, whose mod is this? Shoo. But Ratboy, why did my wife leave me? You're browsing Total Warhammer mods at 3am, you tell me pal.

Plus, when using Epidemius in Lustria, I noticed that the starting war between Skrolk and Epidemius was always resolved peacefully within a few turns. The diplomacy malus from being at war is only -30, but they have no inherent malus otherwise, so they don't have much reason to keep fighting. This is simply too much for Lustria's defenders to handle, what with Skulltaker and 90 colonizer factions just around the corner too.

Regardless of "true" lore accuracy, hopefully this little sprinkling of flavor is as fun for you all as it is for me!
